I guess you mean being affiliated with the Flipmode/PaperRock …..Well I was actually looking into moving out of Miami. Then I got a call that changed my life around.. My Cousin Budda called me asking me if I still had my studio equipment. I told him yes and then he told me that Spliff Star just moved to Miami and he’s looking for a studio..I had just put together a mobile studio a few weeks prior so he wouldn’t have to go anywhere… I’l bring the studio to him. Then we spoke on the phone he asked a few questions then gave me the Ok to come to his Miami Condo. The next day I showed up and we started to record what is now his next official release “One Shot Willy Part 2″. What’s really funny though, is that Spliff didn’t know I rap until 2 – 3 months later..lol…That’s when we recorded ” Wut R U Doin”, my first feature on a Spliff Star record. After that we recorded alot more Banga’s!

What’s the message to transmit with your music??

My music comes from my surroundings, what I see or have seen in my life, sometimes what I’ve lived through or lived with. I guess it would be transmitting a struggle, a painful struggle with moments of joy & happiness. I have a song titled “Life without Hip Hop” the message there explains a little about my life and the part Hip Hop played in it to make you ask you ask your self what part it played in your life. I also have a song called “My Radio” the message in there is to believe in yourself and move forward. In both songs you can picture yourself and it will help u stay focused and charged up, ready to concur any obstacle. Every song transmits something different I can’t call it.

What’s your method at the time of writing a song??

There really isn’t a method I stick to every time I write. Usually the beat influences me on the vibe I bring on a record. Sometimes my mood allows me to write without the beat, but usually when it comes to writing the beat talks to me and I just write down what it tells me!

Right now, I’m starting up a tour and working on getting some shows overseas and in the US with my PaperRock Family.

What has been the funniest prank you guys have been or took part while on tour or after a show?

Haven’t had that luxury just yet, really no time for games over here! I’m so focused! I go to perform and shut it down. After the show I’m working on my next career move whether it be a photo/video shoot, interview, or studio session. All the fun stuff happens on stage, I can’t recall any pranks going on but alot of funny moments though….lol

If you guys were stranded in the middle of nowhere after a show or while on tour. The help is 65 miles away from where you guys are, ¿Who would you guys send to look for help? And if while the rest wait, there’s no food and the only way to feed yourself is by eating each other, ¿Who would you eat first?

Lmao.. We would all take that mission together, taking turns carrying whatever it is we had to carry. We’d be armed with sling shots and razor sharp CD’s before we started to look at each other as meals..lol..I heard insects have protein in them so we’d eat bugs, lizards,and birds. Hopefully we’d be able to video tape the whole thing, so I can come out with a DVD entitled “Hip Hop Survivor”…

Kid Cudi talks about his beef with Wale and his raging coke habit in the new issue of Complex.

Kid Cudi: Did you see that Wale interview that he just did, comparing us to sports? Let me clear this up: I’m incomparable to anybody. I don’t care how people take that. No one can compete with me. I’m unfuckwittable; no one can knock me off my shit. I’m an unstoppable force, I’m a bullet. My trajectory is to the sky. Niggas got to do something really spectacular to fuck with me and my realm, and niggas be so bitter that you hear it in their voice.
Speaking of Wale, when you hit that fan at your show last December, he came out with a line about it [“Throwin’ ’round wallets like the dude that Kid Cudi hit,” from “Thank You Freestyle”].
Kid Cudi: It wasn’t a shot, it’s just a simple-ass rhyme by a simple-ass rapper. You can’t let that shit faze you. That’s one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor? Everybody think they Hov. Niggas ain’t got the magic like they think they do; there’s only a couple of wizards in this game. I’m a wizard and I know it.

Are your peers not seeing that?

Kid Cudi: The last album, I let people dis me, throw out those jabs in their verses and have their little slick remarks. This time around, I’m not fucking around. I have no time to think about other niggas. These other motherfuckers like feeding off another nigga’s energy, so they mention their name. You hear me talk about niggas? I don’t even talk about Kanye, and that’s my homeboy! They talk about Kanye like they’re bosom buddies with this nigga. Talking about “I be in Hawaii”—man, shut the fuck up, why you got to tell everybody everything? Then people like Wale get mad that ‘Ye ain’t give him no beats—’Ye ain’t give you no beats because we ain’t fucking with your raps. It’s not a conspiracy theory. We don’t fuck with you musically, so we’re not going to provide music for you. The shit is a service, it’s a quality of a certain standard. Niggas are just so thirsty it’s ridiculous. I’ve been eating humble pie forever, and people still call me an asshole. These people don’t know my fucking life—now I’m going to give them something to talk about.

And what did Wale have to say about it?

And speaking of cocaine

How heavy did the drug use get?

Kid Cudi: I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, ’cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn’t prepared for a 60 Minutes interview every time. Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down—it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it.
Did you ever feel like you had a problem?

Kid Cudi: I never thought it was a problem, but I was definitely high-fiving death a couple of times. It took a lot for me to talk about shit like this on the album. I don’t feel like I need to explain myself to anyone besides the fans. My fans don’t believe shit until they hear me say it. And those are true Kid Cudi fans. I want them to know the story.

Since turning down the 50mil back in “05 Chappelle has been almost completly out of the spotlight except for this past Tuesday night Chappelle was to entertain 200 people, surprisingly over 4,000 showing up because if a twitter blast. After about two hours he decided that the show must come to an end. The sound system was ridiculous, a fan even left to buy a bigger amp, but it wasn’t a success, there wasn’t enough power. He had no entourage and, apparently, not one security guard. The crowd was peaceful and understanding, he even thanked everyone for being able to stand so close together and not get angry.
